Monitoring the Stability of Artificial Prosthesis Performance for Hip Replacement

Abstract

The hip replacement is beneficial to relieve joint pain and misfunction. We previously designed the model to monitor the stability of the artificial prosthesis during the surgery based on the resonance frequency (RF), which is a non-invasive and sensitive technique. In this study, we further applied the techniques to monitor its use in hip replacement and compared the effect in individuals. Our data have showed that resonance frequency is very promising for the analysis of stability of artificial prosthesis in hip replacement, and the performance of the technique is also promising for the translational studies in the clinic.
